I am just copying this over from the blog post I just wrote. Haha! I'm lazy like that.

Remember my post about our impending move to South Carolina?
We were supposed to secure a rental and leave July 19th, to get there in
time to adjust to the time difference and prep the kidlet for a harsh
reality (while school starts at 9:15 here, it starts at 7:25 at his new
school, which is 6:25 in the time zone that he is used to!).
Unfortunately, those plans didn't work out - things took a turn for the
most excellent!
It turns out the family that lives right behind my aunt and uncle
(literally, they have a shared driveway!) are selling their house! They
are in a hurry to sell, we are in a hurry to buy, and they would rather
sell to a family friend than a stranger! The circumstances couldn't be
better! The location is perfect, right by my family, which was the main
reason for the move. We are in the school district we wanted to be in,
and the house has the perfect amount of bedrooms (three! So I have a
separate space for my studio! Yay!) and it's on a bit of land, mostly
wooded, which is a huge plus for us. Lots of room for Ripley
and we can't wait to plant a garden next spring! It has a spacious
front porch, much larger kitchen than we have now, and a larger living
area! It also has an attached two car garage and a storage shed outside
(hooray - a place to store all of my craft show displays!). I can't wait
until we move and I can give you all a virtual tour! I am so excited!
But now that our big move is lurking just around the corner, it's time
to start working on our schedule. School starting about 3 hours earlier
is going to take some getting used to! We are starting out small, and
only waking up about an hour earlier than normal for now. Once we can
drag ourselves out of bed at 6am without much complaining, we'll bump
the time back bit by bit until we're rising at 5am, central time.
It makes me yawn just thinking about it! But it is so worth it, to be
closer to my family! ♥ I am so excited for our move and cannot wait to
get there! No idea when our definite move date is though until we find
out if our offer is accept and when our closing date is, but I will keep
you all posted! :)
I have to be out of the house by 5:15 or 5:30 most days to get to work by 6:30/7 (depending on the day) - long train ride. Even on non-work-days, my kids get up by 6 or 6:30 anyway. Kinda bites because I'm naturally a night-owl! It's worth it, though, because then hubby can work at his new job a few evenings a week and we don't have to get child care (which we can't afford for 3 kids anyway, lol).
Yes, we do go through a lot of coffee. Lol
I get up at 7:30. My godson is dropped off shortyly after and I keep him until 5. I am not a morning person, but luckily the kiddos are laid back and really dont do much for the first hour or two and some morning he goes back to sleep.
Once we move, I think we may end up bumping the time back to 4:30. G is NOT a morning person - he needs over an hour to be awake and moving around. We'll see how it goes with him getting up/ready for school with just an hour first. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope I don't have to get up at 4:30! I don't know how you do it!!

Quoting shell3m:cool, keep us posted! :)
That's good that you are able to still have chill mornings! I like to be awake, alone for a while.. But with T waking me up when he gets up, no more of that! it will be a big adjustment for all of us.. Speaking of.. I should get ready for bed. lol!
